Planning to Quit

I have everything I want for a man. However, I have one thing I dislike about him and to be precise that is his only vice (smoking). It's the only thing that I felt ashamed of and I'm not so proud of it because its not good for him. I so want him to stop eversince I met him. Though, I know he tried and tried and even used this Black and Mild cigars but seems he is getting more addicted to it than ever. I just couldn't think of anyway to stop him. I did everything but he has always a reasons for not stopping like his stressful job that all he can do to calm himself down is smoking which I think its just an excused. But lately, he mentioned about stopping for our kids education. Because apart from its bad for his health its also bad for our pocket because each packet cost quite a lot. Instead we could save it and add to our savings for the children's private school. So, I'm glad he agreed and hopefully after new year he'll slowly cut it down until he is ready to quit the whole thing. At least he planned and agreed about quitting and then I could turn around to him and said where is that promised? I'm just so happy about the thoughts because apart from saving money of him quitting we'll also save his health.

Lil something from Hubby:)

Have I mentioned in my previous post about hubby's shopping extravaganza? Well, there was a staff sale in Duty Free @ Heathrow Airport where hubby's work and so, he went in and bought loads of stuff but unfortunately not all for me. In fact, I wasn't gonna get anything until christmas but he generously gave me these two cute stuff because of my impatienced. This was supposed to be one of my christmas presents but now it's an advance gifts, hehehe.

Anyway, he bought all the women/girls (in the family) christmas presents already and all we think now is the men/boys. I'm so proud of him doing the job because I am getting lazy these days and couldn't be ask to go shopping as I can't stand for any long hours anymore. I'll easily get a backache and my painful legs too. It must something to do with my pregnancy weight. It's killing me! But still I hope to go a little shopping of course for my husband and my kids sometime next week or a week after. Oh, I can't wait any longer!

Kunchinta waiting.........

I just texted my friend who made Kunchinta today to wait for me in the Kiosk where my daughter's school because I have to go pick-up my son first before I head down to her. I decided to pick my son first because my daughter have an after school club today and she will not be finish until 4pm. Ah, can't wait to eat Kunchinta - been craving it for years and gladly my friend and Nanay was kind enough to made some just for me. Lucky for I have true friends like them. They maybe older than me but they certainly knows how to please me all the time. They are always kind to me and to my kids as well as to my husband. So glad I've met them really. They two of a kind! Anyway, after my pregnancy I'll certainly need to use one this appetite suppressants because I don't wan't to turn into a super Jumbo. I just hope my appetite now will not last because its killing me. I'm like a pig for I keep munching every minute, lol. Well, I have my reasons for now as I'm eating for two but soon after I deliver I will slow down a bit for sure.

What a mess!

Our house is a nigthmare at the moment. I just don't know what else to do with our clutter - I nearly have enough of it! I just couldn't wait to move and I need a spacious living room and big storage where I can put aside our junks. Its definitely hard to lived in a 2 bedroom flat with kids. There's never a day that our house is not messy. Every single toys are scattered along the hallway and in the living room.

Hubby is determined to move earlier next year. We've seen some possible houses already but we can't view until ours is on the market. And we can't put this on the market until our window is sorted. We are waiting for the labourers to do it and until now we don't have any idea when its gonna happen. Every single day I tried and tried harder to make our PAD pleasant and tidy. I have been wiping the condensation out as well as washed the curtains. All rooms are full of cluts and our living room is no exception. The worst one is my daughter because that is where all my pile of laundry's, my balikbayan box as well as the rest of the junks. Gosh, you don't even wanna see it. We certainly have many unwated stuff that we couldn't throw away yet. Our living room is full of big furnitures. That is why the condensation is worst in there that we decided to buy a dehumidifier last year which infairness is making it a little better. It certainly helps a lot especially with this cold weather. Ugh, I mean to buy some humidifier filters today but I completely forgot it. Well, there is always tomorrow perhaps after work.

Anyway, enough of my rant here, I'll just wish that we will be able to move next year. Finger cross!

Lil Princess Pink Tree

I promised my daughter that we put her tree up after her birthday. She had her own pink tree last year that we kept in my closet. But unfortunately we lost the stand in it and so the decorations. Its more likely we misplaced those stuff and I just couldn't be ask to digg anymore - its too hasle. So, I went out and bought some new balls and other decors. She was excited for it and soon as its up I took a picture of her and of course with the little guy.

Worst Storm in Britain

We just been hit with a strongest storm here in Britain and since I arrived here I never seen nor experience such. Some parts (more in North) in Britain flooded and damaged many houses. There are few deaths as well as injured. The storm started since last week and until now its still around. I just pray for those victims of flood further down North.

Anyway, I have been working as usual and I'm so glad that tomorrow is Monday because that only means I'll soon have my days off which my favourite days of the week. Also, I agreed with hubby that I don't do much Overtime next month as we'll do more family outings and christmas shoppings. Next week I already say No to weekend OT and I'm so looking forward to go out with my kids and husband every weekend if weather permits of course.

Ugh, what a bum! I plan to do some ironing tonight but kinda got distracted by some TV shows which hooked me up for almost 4 hours. I'll better do my ironing in the morning before I go to work.

Last but not the least is to find a cheap insurance for our car. We are due for an upgrade and we realised there are so many cheap car insurance online than the current one we used.

Busy Choosing Photos

I have been planning to order few photobooks for this year's family keepsake. Only that, I have a problem choosing which photos will go into my page. There are tons I take and I couldn't keep it all up in just 4 Photobooks I plan to order. I am also ordering 2 for my scrapping but so far I am not satisfied of my layouts. They all seem simple and untidy. So, I think I'm going to start again and hopefully I could get it done before the end the year. Or I could just simply get 4 Photobooks with all the normal photos I took from my camera and I'll just add some description when, why and how it was taken and the story behind the pictures. Ah, I find it sometimes too much to even think of my Photos but its also good to have them in one book so I could keep them for the family keepsake forever. I can easily hand it down to my grandchildren as it tells a story. Well, I have to cross my finger. If I can't do it this year there is always the year after or the next year, long as I have all the photos properly saved in my hard drive then I could hardly lose it.

Anyway, aside from organising and choosing my photobooks content, I'm also browsing along the internet regarding this Blue Advantage. I wasn't sure what this all about only I am curious when I heard my colleage talked about it the other week. It does sounds interesting.

Seasonal Flu

My babies got this seasonal flu for days now and I'm extremely worried. I have been ringing the Doctor but all they say is keep the fluid intake as it is normal to get high temperature and cough at the same time. It painful to see my kids being sick. They look so uncomfortable day and night. My daughhter got it first last Friday after school and then had it for the whole weekend as well as on Monday. So, hubby and I decided to keep her home for couple of days because her continuous cough might not bring any good to her class. It could caused disturbance to their lessons or it caught spread more viruses towards her classmates. Today she missed school again because we just couldn't get rid of her nasty coughing. Poor thing, can't sleep all through the night. I hope she can go to school tomorrow as it is already thursday. I don't really want her to miss the whole week of school. On Friday, her spanish lesson's will start and her instructor already called me and I confirned she'll go. And my son, is exactly the same. He has temperature at night and cough. I just hate it when seasonal Flu hit us. It's not fun for us all because we couldn't get a good night sleep. Now, my troat is tickling. I have a feeling I might get it before weekend. Ah, I'll better drink lots of water now.

Can't wait for next year...

It's not surprising to me that pregnancy caused me spots and acne. It's my 3rd baby and everytime I am expecting I looked so rough with my face full of pimples. Its annoying but what else I can do? I can't use any facial cream or something like but to wait after I give birth. Hubby probably heard me enough complaining about it but all he say to me is you'll get over it once the baby is born as you always do. But to me 9 whole months is like forever and I couldn't wait any longer. I wanted my smooth baby face back or I'll die. Am I over-reacting? Oh yeah, definitely according to hubby. Get on with it, he added! My, I can't wait to cover my face with the best acne treatments right after I deliver this leattle peanut in my tummy. Right now, I'm a little depressed about how I look but as they say, this is just normal due to hormones changed.

My Student in her School Dress

There is a lot of things going on down here in our end but can't simply keep up to update it here in my blog anymore. If you want to know more about my daily lives then I suggest you visit my Photolalbum more often as I tend to update their daily than any of my blogs. Anyway, here's a series of my daughter's on her school uniform. This was taken the day before she turned 8 yrs old. Isn't she lovely ang big now? Ugh, how time flies!

Invite from a dear Friend

My friend just rang me this morning and asked how I am going? I said, getting huge and feeling so bumpy each day. Its been a while since I last see her and I am planning to meet up with her before Christmas. I hope to hand something for her kids as a little something for Christmas. She told me about the new stuff she got from her hubby on her birthday. It's a new coffee machine and so, she added that we can have as many cups of coffee as we like. I then thought that maybe I should get one for hubby this Christmas because he is kinda into coffee especially when he is working late at night. It would be good for him in his office so he doesn't need to come in and out the house. I would prefer giving him the best quality coffee maker like jura coffee machine. I'll see if I can afford one, if not then he'll have to wait until I have enough savings, lol.

28 Weeks +

Bump is getting big each day and feeling heavy as well as suffering short breathing. Been to the Midwife and glad to know that everything went well (e.i. me and my baby are fine) and the test came out negative as well apart from my low iron of course which can be deal by eating more green vegetables, steaks and dark chocolates. Anyway, I can't wait to pop because I'm trouble sleeping at night already and doing household chores are a great challenge for me.

Anyway, its 11pm Sunday night here and I am devating whether to go to bed or stay and watch TV with hubby. Or perhaps I can just browse along the internet and check out this social security disability as I am curious to know about it. Well, I have loads of things going on in my mind at the moment. I wanted to do some scrapping at the same time I wanted to upload my recent photos but can only do one thing at a time. I am yet to catch up my Teleserye but I think I better leave it until tomorrow. First thing first which is spend sometime with hubby, lol.

After Five Kits

Naks, I was too naughty tonight for I spent quite a lot buying scrapping kits in After Five Studio. Well, I'll just take it a treat for myself since I have been very good lately. I was not able to resist the temptation after all. Anyways, here's the stuff I bought..........I must say that After Five gots tons of great designers. Here's the link to their store http://www.afterfivedesigns.com/shoppe/home.php





So, here's my first layout with this kits........... and you can click the link tp see it in my Flickr.

Enjoy life while you can...

It's been nearly a year now since we bought our Samsung HDTV. Though it cost a lot but its all worth the wait. We've got the full HD 1080 Samsung with 100hrts and the resolution is exceptional. We also upgrade our player from DVD to Blu-ray. We thought of sending all our DVD's to Philippines for my family because we are slowly buying our Blu-rays collection. Ah, it definitely cost money but in the end of the day is all about pleasure and enjoyinh life to the fullest. Why not make the most of the high technology that we haven't had before? I must admit that I enjoyed watching movies more at home now as our cinema time is very limited due to PG restrictions. Samsung definitely give the most of High definition TV. So, if you are looking to buy an HDTV don't hesitate to choose the one that is best. I recommend Samsung. Let's enjoy life in high definition!

Witch VS Superhero

My kids on Halloween nights in the town. As promised to them we will go on the Bonfire and fireworks night on the 31st of October as to celebrate the Guy Fawkes and the same time they were wearing their halloween custome as chosen. My Kath as always wanted to be a little witchy so she is wearing exactly the same custome but its a new one because the year before was way too little for her. My little guy insisted to wear his sportacus one because he wanted to be a superhero and save everybody. A quite contrast but for sure my kids were both cute in different way. Well, they definitely had a blast because the aside from huge Bonfire the fireworks display was phenomenal.

Needless to say....

that my husband needs to lose weight. He started some diet months ago and when he was hit by the flu he's back to eating a lot and now he seems to be gaining back his weight again. I think I might have to put him on this weight loss austin. He could seriously endanger his health if not being careful about his weight. He is quite tall that's the only plus but his BMI still shows he is overweight. He definitely need to think about going back to his diet after the holiday season or he could start again anytime soon. It would not do any better for him if he continues eating loads. At the moment he is kinda lost interest on buying some diet supplements but I might need to encourage him more everyday.
